This alley originating from the post-war black market, a restaurant district where the shadow of history still lives on. The smoke hanging in the air and the pale lights illuminating the curtains of the shops create a nostalgic atmosphere. Walking along the street, you can hear the lively sound of laughter and smell the aroma of charcoal fires. In this place where time seems to have stopped, the past and the present quietly cohabit, and the night deepens with the memories of the town.

I am a Japanese street photographer. I'm shooting my town, street, and casual days. Sometimes I also take still lifes.
